Some pickling processes include cooking.
Some pickling processes include acid preservation with vinegar. Ceviche shows that this is one equivalent of cooking.
Some pickling processes ferment. Fermented meat is done with dried sausages. Not usually considered pickling.
you can eat some kinds of fish raw, especially saltwater fish.
The addition of salt to meat is also called curing, or in some places, corning. Yeah, that corned beef doesn’t mean that the cows ate lots of corn, it means that the meat was cured with “corns” of salt.
There are two basic methods of curing meat, a wet cure or a dry cure.
so for my diet, id eat:
pickled meat
fermented meat
raw saltwater fish and other safe variants
dried meat
salted meat
sweet meats?
Nitrates
Both wet and dry curing are even better if you add sodium nitrate in some form.
Nitrates? Aren’t those scary?
Not really. You’re probably consuming more nitrates from vegetables than you are from meat.
In fact, nitrates protect against the bacteria that cause botulism! Huzzah for nitrates!
You can add nitrates to your curing solution or rub by using spinach or celery.
Or just use curing salt, which naturally contains enough nitrates to work well.
Cured meats will last for weeks unless you decide to give them a mud bath after curing them. Don’t do that.
Pemmican is better than jerky. It lasts just as long (a long time! From 3 months up to several years!) but provides more energy per bite and prevents rabbit starvation (AKA protein poisoning).
You do, after all, need some fat to survive. And game animals, with their healthy diets, produce healthy fat.
smoked meat could be an option
microwaved meat
electric stoves
maybe taurus is gods favored pet livestock.
well if i am an emanation of a livestock creature, i hope im as beloved to my benefactor as yaks are to my own heart. i wonder if butchers ever cry before they have to kill
